Just watched the replay, without knowing if we won or lost.
- The team sticks with it. Looked terrible on offense early but just kept plugging along to keep it from getting out of hand.
- Yep Miami is bad/has limited players but I've seen this story for 10 years where we should take care of a team and lose by double digits.
- Carters freshman wall should come about May. Normally the freshman are on campus in the summer, practice with the team, play a full slate of pre-conf games then half the ACC season and THEN they hit the wall. I thought the announcers said it pretty well tonight, the kid is learning this level of hoops on the fly. He's going to struggle, have good games, bad games, great games but that's more about how the pandemic allowed him to start playing in the middle of the season.
- It's clear, at this point, that Coach Forbes knows what he's doing. He has a plan for offense and a plan for defense and he make the team execute those plans. No more BS about what happened in practice, paint touches, FT's or how we wear our socks, we have a coach that has more than a clue and can get his players to buy in and want to win for him.
- Finally we've played 9 conference games. It's clear that GT was an outlier (i.e. coming of 30+ days of nothing and only a game against Catabwa). The team has shown in 8 straight games that the believe in themselves and they refuse to quit. Of our 9 games we've played 7 of the current top 8 in the conference, so we have a bit easier schedule to end the season so we should be able to pick up a few more wins. @ND is big since I think we might be able to count the number of ACC road wins on one hand in the last 10 years.
